Commentary on this verse  

By Henry MacLagan

Verse 8. And hence the false prophet from his selfishness, temporizes with the insinuations of evil and falsity, suggesting delay in the state of obscurity, and that an answer shall be given according to the Word of the Lord; for corrupted good and its falsities abides with those who would teach truth for selfish purposes.
